  • A.Asking the visual observer to take over camera duties
  • B.Delegating a radio call to another crew member
  • C.Repeatedly missing simple calls, making small control errors, and saying there is no time to use the checklist
Correct answer

C. Repeatedly missing simple calls, making small control errors, and saying there is no time to use the checklist

Why

Missed calls, growing errors, and skipping safeguards show that demands have exceeded capacity. The crew should reduce the task load, and if needed end the flight, before saturation leads to an accident.
